2020 LIHEAP SUMMER COOLING PROGRAM
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Applications for Summer Cooling Subsidy and Crisis Components will be accepted through October 31, 2020.
Designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures, the program is the network’s latest resource to help families during the COVID-19 public health crisis. Applications will run through October 31, 2020, or until funds are depleted.
The LIHEAP Summer Cooling Program is separated into two components, Subsidy and Crisis, to assist with electric costs. Eligible households can apply for one or both components and participation in prior LIHEAP programs will not affect a household’s eligibility. Households must meet income eligibility requirements, including income guidelines. Benefits are only available to assist with electric costs.
The Subsidy component provides households one-time benefit ranging from $50 to $200 depending on income levels and housing category. The Crisis component is available to eligible households who demonstrate a home energy crisis situation. Crisis benefits will cover the minimum needed to alleviate the crisis not to exceed $600. Households can reapply each time they experience a crisis situation until they reached their maximum benefit. Applicants are encouraged to contact their local Agency Name outreach office for specific application instructions.
How do I apply?
Individuals should submit an application through their local Henry, Oldham or Trimble Tri-County Community Action Agency office.
If you are outside of Henry, Oldham and Trimble counties find your local office here.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE DUE TO COVID-19
